current promotion, not sure how long it will last. Apply for any of this cards ( make sure you have your AA.com account set up first and your member number handy ), spend on it 2.5 ( rent, car, bills, gas etc.. easy ) and you will get 50K airmiles deposited to your AA account. It takes 45K to fly directly to Mendoza.

hope that helps some of you! good luck

By the way, you can apply for more than one card at this same time.. just letting you know ( but no more than 2 )

Of course this requires you to spend $2,500 when the plane tickets by themselves are less than $1600 from denver ($700 from Miami )So, they weren't really free, unless you use the card to by the tickets and you give them to your friend, or something

no, not really. You are approaching it from a wrong angle.Use the credit card as your debit card and pay for your rent, car, food etc. $2.5K in 4 months in CO is super easy.. When you do, you will get free tickets. So no, it is not this same as buying tix with the card and giving them to your friend ( but I am sure your friend would love you for that ).

It is just smart way of getting a free flight, however knowing life, people are too lazy to do it Few months ago, this same company was offering 75K miles as a sign up bonus. I got two of them and flew around the world ( europe, africa, asia, hawaii ) for 250 bucks. ( airport taxes and such ).
